[. . . ] The pre-MID BANDWIDTH parameter determines how wide or narrow the bandwith of the selected mid-band frequency is (in octaves). A small bandwidth only boosts or cuts frequencies close to the center frequency, while a large bandwidth affects the level of frequencies up to two octaves from the center frequency. LF FREQ MID LEVEL MID FREQ MID BW 18 POST EQ (EXPERT) Function The POST EQ (EXPERT) function is available in all presets--regardless of which configuration is currently recalled. This function allows you shape the tone after it has passed through the distortion stage. These post-distortion EQ parameters have a more dramatic effect on the overall tone than the pre-distortion parameters. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these POST EQ parameters: BASS LVL The post-BASS LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the low frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-BASS FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a center frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or boosted by the postBASS LEVEL parameter. The post-BASS BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width of the selected bass band. The post-MID LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the midband frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-MID FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a midband center frequency between 250Hz and 2KHz to be cut or boosted via the post-MID LEVEL parameter. The post-MID BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width of the selected mid band. The post-TREBLE LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the high-band frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The Voodu Valve has an internal wah-wah which allows for an expression pedal to be used as a wah-wah pedal through continous control changes. Use of this feature eliminates the need to run long audio cables out to a conventional wah-wah pedal. To use an expression pedal as a wah-wah pedal, connect it to a MIDI controller (such as a Rocktron MIDI MateTM) and set the controller's MIDI channel to correspond with the Voodu Valve's receiving MIDI channel. Then set the pedal's control number on the MIDI MateTM to match the Wah Frequency parameter's control number on the Voodu Valve. This control number is set on the Voodu Valve in the "CONTROLLER ASSIG" function. (See "Controller Assignments" in Chapter 8 for more information on assigning control numbers. ) The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these WAH-WAH parameters: WAH-WAH I/O The WAH-WAH I/O parameter determines whether the wah-wah is active for the current preset. The WAH FREQUENCY parameter allows you to manually sweep the frequency range of the wah-wah via the PARAMETER ADJUST control. Selecting a frequency for this parameter and storing the WAHWAH parameter IN allows you to use the wah-wah as a fixed wah. WAH FREQ 22 PHASER Function The PHASER function is available only in configurations displaying "PHAS" in the configuration title. Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting the phase of different frequencies of one signal and mixing it back with the original signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these PHASER parameters: PHASER I/O The PHASER I/O parameter determines whether the Phaser is active for the current preset. The DEPTH parameter determines the modulation depth of the phase shift effect. [. . . ] The Voodu Valve will display "INITIALIZING" as the Voodu Valve memory is restored. INITIALIZING After the All Restore process is completed, the display should read "ERRORS 0". This is the number of bytes that the Voodu Valve found that did not initialize properly. Any number of errors other than "0" means that the Voodu Valve may not have initialized properly and the process should be repeated. ERRORS 0 The Voodu Valve will remain in this condition until the FUNCTION SELECT control is turned to exit the Factory Restore function. The preset currently recalled will be the preset most recently restored into the current location. Restoring the Voodu Valve controller assignments: The controller assignments for the Voodu Valve can also be reinitialized without affecting presets and other stored information. [. . . ]
